Vocational education and training (VET) have a key role to play in
raising skill levels and improving a society's productivity. In
this important new book, a team of international experts argue that
too often national VET policy has been formulated in ignorance of
historical and political developments in other countries and
without proper consideration of the social objectives that it might
help achieve.
Examining a wide range of contrasting international approaches
and development strategies, this book demonstrates the central role
of the state in implementing an effective system of VET and
assesses the extent to which different VET policies can promote
equality in the labour market and social justice. Key themes
include:
- the broader educational and social aims of VET
- the nature of learning in vocational contexts
- the historical development of VET in the UK, US, Australia,
France, Germany, the Netherlands and elsewhere.
Including a full range of case-studies and practical examples,
this book is essential reading for all students, researchers and
practitioners with an interest in vocational education and
training, industrial and labour relations or social policy.
